Chapter 994 Chapter 994, Good Buddy
Old Madam An looked extremely unhappy as she watched the imperial grandchildren leave.
She didn't mind not going out to greet the distinguished guest, accepting the courtesy from her mother, the imperial concubine, and publicly humiliating an elder. However,
Didn't they come here specially to pay a visit to the Duke of Fuguo? Now they are not even allowed to see him. What on earth is this girl from the Yan family trying to do?
An Xin noticed the ugly expression on Madam An's face and quickly picked up the tea on the table and handed it to her: "Grandma, the tea in the palace is really fragrant."
Old Madam An took a deep breath, suppressed the dissatisfaction and anger in her heart, took the tea and took a sip, covering up her gloomy face: "Tea, it is indeed good tea." Unfortunately, he is not a good person!
An Xin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her grandmother calm down, and then looked at Princess Xiao calmly.
This princess is really a capable person!
My grandmother was so majestic when she was at home. Even my father and uncles didn't dare to disobey her. But today, Princess Xiao made her so angry again and again that she almost had a fit on the spot, but in the end she had to endure it.
An Xin thought about the comments made by the women of various families about Princess Xiao when they were in the capital. Most people thought she didn't know the rules and their comments were not very good, but there was a sense of envy in their tone that made her feel puzzled.
After meeting Princess Xiao in person today, she finally understood why others were envious.
This Princess Xiao lives a very wanton life!
Just like the matter of my grandmother, because she was the imperial concubine's mother, even if she sometimes acted a little strong and made others feel uncomfortable, for the sake of the overall situation, most people would give her some face and choose to keep the peace.
But when it comes to Princess Xiao, it is obvious that there is no such thing as indulging her grandmother.
Mrs. Du and others had long known that Gu Jian was a solitary person who disliked meeting outsiders, so they did not have any special reaction and happily chatted with Daohua about all sorts of things.
During the conversation, Mrs. An San noticed that Princess Xiao was estranged from the An family. She sighed in her heart and had to find a way to make up for the mistake her mother-in-law had just made.
However, before she could come up with a solution, Mrs. An, who was ignored by everyone, spoke up herself.
Just by speaking, the room fell into a brief silence.
"Princess, it's the first time for the emperor's grandchildren to visit the palace. Why haven't they seen the prince of your palace come out to meet them?"
This time, even Mrs. Du didn't want to come out to smooth things over.
The old lady of the An family is really confused. What good will it do for Princess Xiao to feel uncomfortable everywhere?
The prince of the palace is only four years old. Even if he doesn't come out to meet guests, who would blame a little kid?
Old Madam An just wanted people to know that the daughter of the Yan family was uneducated and couldn't even raise a child properly.
Daohua looked at Madam An calmly and said, "Every day after breakfast, Moxi would accompany my master for a walk. It's unfortunate that you all came at this time."
Aren’t the emperor’s grandchildren here to honor their master on behalf of their father?
Now her rice is being used to honor her master. Is she really going to abandon her master and come to accompany them?
What a big face!
Madam Du immediately took over the conversation with a smile: "The prince is really filial. At such a young age, he knows to accompany his elders for a walk."
Daohua smiled at Madam Du, then continued to look at Madam An: "Are you satisfied with this answer, Madam? Although my Moxi is the only child in the palace, she is not so spoiled that she won't even show up to meet the emperor's grandson."
Old Madam An was stunned, and even Madam Du and the others were a little dazed.
Everyone was dumbfounded by Daohua's straightforwardness and boldness.
People of their status would not say it so bluntly when socializing, even if they disliked the other person.
Daohua ignored everyone's reactions and continued, "By now, the emperor's grandchildren should have arrived at Nanshan Hall. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be able to see Moxi and Morong there."
"Madam An, do you want to send someone to investigate?"
Mrs. An was speechless when asked this question.
Madam An San quickly came to the rescue: "Princess, this is serious. The young master is well-behaved and cute. My mother just wants to meet him."
Rice Flower let out a long "Oh" and said with a smile, "It turns out I misunderstood!"
Mrs. An San's face froze and she smiled awkwardly.
Old Madam An also kept silent. After several exchanges, the girl from the Yan family had humiliated her without any scruples. Now she had even brought the matter to the surface. If she continued, they would be at loggerheads.
Afterwards, Madam Du and others started talking about the emperor's grandchildren. Unlike Madam An, they did not forget the purpose of coming to the palace.
On the other side, Gu Jian met several emperor's grandchildren.
Looking at these half-grown children, even though he knew that their parents had ulterior motives, Gu Jian didn't say anything. He talked to them kindly for a while and then let Daozi go over to recognize them.
With Xiao Morong's introduction, Daozi soon got to know several of the emperor's grandsons.
Mo Qing, from the eldest prince's family, is eight years old this year and the seventh of the emperor's grandchildren.
Mo Bao, the second prince's son, is six years old this year and the eighth among the emperor's grandchildren.
Mo Xu, from the Fifth Prince's family, is four years old this year and the tenth among the emperor's grandchildren;
Mo Kuan, from the Sixth Prince's family, is ten years old this year and the sixth among the emperor's grandchildren;
Among the four, only Mo Kuan was a concubine's son, and the others were legitimate sons. The four were able to come to Xiliang thanks to their grandmother's high status.
Other princes also wanted to send their sons here. Even if they could not get the title of Prince of the State, they could at least gain some favor in front of the emperor. Unfortunately, their say was too weak.
"Hello, Sixth Brother!"
Daozi walked up to Xiao Mokuan, greeted him in a loud voice, and stretched out his hand as if to shake hands with Xiao Mokuan.
When Xiao Morong saw this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
When the younger brother met him for the first time, he also wanted to shake hands with him, but he had no idea what he was going to do. He now feels ashamed when he thinks of how stupid he was at that time.
Seeing that his sixth brother also looked at a loss as to what to do, he felt relieved.
It’s not that they are ignorant, it’s that the little cousin is too different!
Because he was a concubine's son, Xiao Mokuan actually had some inferiority complex. Being in the royal family, the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children was more distinct than in other families. So on the way to Xiliang, he seldom took the initiative to talk to other cousins. Of course, his cousins didn't talk to him either.
Faced with such an enthusiastic little cousin, he was still a little uncomfortable. Also, why was he extending his hand? Was he asking for a gift?
Xiao Mokuan hesitated for a moment, took off the jade pendant he was wearing, and placed it in Daozi's hand: "Hello, cousin!"
Daozi looked at the jade pendant in his hand and grinned. Can he receive gifts?
These brothers came at great convenience!
He loves receiving gifts the most!
After receiving the gift, Daozi became even more enthusiastic. He took Xiao Mokuan's hand and shook it, saying with a smile, "Sixth brother, my full name is Xiao Moxi, and my nickname is Daozi. You can call me whatever you want. Now that we've shaken hands, we're good friends!"
Xiao Mokuan: “.”Good buddy?
Without waiting for Xiao Mokuan, Daozi walked towards Xiao Moqing.
"Hello, Seventh Brother!"
Daozi looked at Xiao Moqing with sparkling eyes, waiting for him to give her a gift.
Xiao Moqing noticed the interaction between Daozi and Xiao Mokuan and generously gave the gold locket he was carrying to Daozi. He was used to being naughty at home and felt that as the older brother, he couldn't lose the upper hand. He took the initiative to shake Daozi's hand and said loudly, "Hello to you too."
The sound was so loud that Daozi leaned back.
Daozi looked at Xiao Moqing and said, "Seventh Brother, you have a really loud voice. My mother always says I have a loud voice, but compared to you, I think I'm really gentle."
Xiao Moqing: “.”
Daozi added: "Although your voice is a little loud, I don't dislike you. We are still good brothers."
Xiao Moqing: “.”
Daozi, who had already received two gifts, walked towards Xiao Mobao with a smile: "Hello, Big Brother!"
Xiao Mobao pulled the jade cabbage hanging on his body with pain. What should he do if he didn't want to give it to his little cousin?
Sixth brother and seventh brother are really something. They are still children. Why do they need a gift for meeting each other?
Seeing that Xiao Mobao didn't respond, Daozi called out again, "Hello, mynah brother!"
Seeing Daozi staring at his jade cabbage, Xiao Mobao pouted, reluctantly pulled off the jade cabbage and handed it to Daozi.
The jade cabbage was carved small and delicate, and it was emerald green. Daozi fell in love with it the moment she saw it. She put it on her body, then held Xiao Mobao's hand and shook it vigorously: "Myna, we will be good brothers from now on."
Compared to Daozi's happiness, Xiao Mobao felt a little listless. He was always the one who asked others for things, but today his jade cabbage was taken away by his little cousin whom he met for the first time. His heart ached!
Finally, Daozi came to Xiao Moxu from the fifth prince's house.
Before he could speak, Xiao Moxu spoke first: "Hello, Brother Daozi!" Then he stretched out his chubby little hand and looked at Daozi with blinking eyes.
It's exactly the same as Daozi asking for gifts just now!
rice:"."
Seeing Daozi was dumbfounded, Xiao Morong stepped forward and said, "Moxu is one month younger than you."
Daozi's face immediately plummeted. Now that he had become an older brother, shouldn't he give a gift to his younger brother?
But I really can’t bear to let go!
Looking at Daozi picking up things from his body with reluctance on his face, Gu Jian's eyes were full of smiles.
Although the adults have their own plans, the children are still good.
Finally, Daozi ran into the house and gave Xiao Moxu a set of wooden clubs and balls similar to golf balls: "This is what my mother made specially for me, and now I give it to you."
Xiao Moxu frowned and took it: "But I don't know how to play."
Daozi straightened his chest and said, "It's okay. I'm your brother here. I'll teach you." Then he started demonstrating how to play golf in the yard.
